Do you actually have a confirmed flight now or are you standby? The "no seat number" has me a little concerned as that's how AC usually deal with standby folks...

What’s supposed to be good at that Tim hortons?  Donuts?

what I had this morning wasn’t great. Went by before this and they were still on breakfast so I guess that’s all they do.

 

I think they serve breakfast all day but the screens may be rotating screens. I like their coffee, donuts and sandwiches.

I think in Canada they have a larger menu, we sometimes see/hear commercials here for stuff they don't sell in the US.  Most everyone I know just gets coffee, my kids like the breakfast sandwiches on bagels.  They used to have a jalapeño bagel that I thought was good.  Never tried lunch with them.

HAL does the numbers with colors, too.

Just seems a lot easier to just have a number vs calling out different shades of blue and green. And there was even a light blue 1 and a light blue 3.

Of course, I am in Canada.  That bagel sandwich I had today was like they flattened it in a panini press.

It sure sounds like NCL could care less about their booked guests with the little effort they made for you.

Be grateful you are not on United. All planes grounded due to computer issues

Especially for those color challenged passengers!

We are experiencing a systemwide technology issue and are holding all aircraft at their departure airports. Flights that are already airborne are continuing to their destination as planned. We will share more information as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience as we work on a resolution to get you on your way as soon as possible.

That extra leg room you paid for...

 

At least your plane for United is in the air and will be on time at Chicago. So thats a plus!

[depplep]

You can't make this stuff up.

[Saint Greg]

The only good thing about that stop was taking my shoes off for security. Apart from that I’ve had them on for the last 30 hours or so.

Yea, close to lift off. OMG, what a day. Safe travels home. Thanks for the great review, sorry that your ending was not better.

United is back to flying so you should be good to go once you land and board your next flight.

[PrincessPatti]

It looks as if flights have resumed on United.  Fingers crossed for you.

And airlines. 

 

Think anyone that travels a bit knows that pooh happens. I remember traveling form Ireland to England I missed a connection to the US. She could get me to Vancouver BC. I told her that was not good enough. She told me "You can just rent a car to get home."  I told her I was not driving over 300 miles to get home.
